Brewed the barleywine I had been planning (16.25 lbs of grain) in the newly re-inforced bag - went swimmingly. I decided not to double-bag it and just see how the single bag did (thanks Vellum - your post inspired me) - and it was great. Additional support definitely seemed like a bonus... I...

I went out to my parent's house shortly after swinging by morebeer for the additional bags... and she broke out her sewing machine! I left the bags with her and she's going to reinforce the stitching (turned the bag inside-out and was going to do a larger zig-zag stitch). Anybody do this sort...

Not that I could tell. Racking from boil kettle looked pretty standard for the beer i was making (bit of hop matter due to 6oz of pellets). No stray floaters from the grain or elevated sludge. I will say that the finer crush lead to a higher amount of water absorption... I had been...

Just a quick thanks for this - have been able to consistently hit my mash temperatures spot on since adopting your dough-in method. No more 'dump and pray', followed by frantic efforts to get closer to my target temps. Cheers!
